but 'savages' DOES have a historical use associated with racism no? I was under the impression that it was used all the time in association with European colonialism and manifest destiny.
I agree with you on 'thug'...or at least I'm unaware of it's association with historical race issues. But my impression is that 'savages' certainly IS a racially loaded word and has been for a very long time.
